Executive Coaching & HR Advisory

Real thinking
for real problems.

I work with senior professionals ready for something different, and business owners who need experienced HR thinking without the full-time hire.

The hard side
and the human side.

I spent 15 years as a senior HR leader inside one of the world's largest companies — running compensation, benefits, global talent, leadership development, and executive coaching at scale. I've sat in the room for the hard conversations: the performance issues, the restructurings, the leaders quietly falling apart, the teams that stopped trusting each other.

A few years ago I made my own transition — and lived through what my clients describe. I know what it feels like to have built something real and wonder what comes next.

I started this practice because I kept meeting two kinds of people: executives who needed a real thinking partner, not a cheerleader — and business owners who needed someone who'd actually done HR at the highest level to tell them what to do. I built a practice that serves both.

Who I Help

Two kinds of people.
One common thread.

01

The Professional at an Inflection Point

You've built a real career. You're good at what you do. And lately something feels off — the next promotion doesn't excite you, the Sunday dread is real, and you're not sure what you actually want anymore.


You don't need therapy. You don't need cheerleading. You need someone who can help you think clearly and actually move.

02

The Business Owner With a People Problem

You're losing sleep over something on your team — a bad hire, a compensation dispute, a culture that's drifted somewhere you didn't intend.


You need practical, experienced HR guidance without paying for a full-time HR department. Someone who has seen these situations a hundred times and can tell you what to actually do.

Work Together

How we work together.

Executive Coaching

One-on-one coaching for senior professionals navigating career transitions, leadership challenges, and the question of what comes next. Engagements are tailored — not a program, not a framework. Real conversation with someone who has been in the room.

What makes this different.

Most coaches are warm but light on hard experience. Most HR consultants are process-heavy but don't connect with people. I do both — and I've lived the transition I help others navigate.

I

15 Years at the Highest Level

Senior HR Business Partner and people strategy leader at a AAA-rated global corporation with 130,000 employees. Compensation, benefits, global talent, leadership development, executive coaching — not theoretical. Lived.

II

Both Sides of the Brain

Analytical rigor and human depth in the same conversation. I can build a compensation structure and help someone figure out why they're miserable — and know which one the moment actually calls for.

III

She's Lived the Transition

I left a high-powered corporate career on purpose, navigated a serious health diagnosis, and rebuilt my sense of identity outside of a title. I'm not coaching from a textbook. I'm coaching from experience.
